All the shit trump and MAGA are dumping on this country acts as compost for a whole crop of homegrown heroes, like these courageous Americans risking themselves to protect their neighbors. #DemsUnited

This is a good question. Reuters reports Trump admin has hired 50,000 workers, primarily in immigration enforcement.

For context, that's equivalent to the total number of job losses in Health & Human Services, Veterans Affairs, USAID and Interior COMBINED, per the Partnership for Public Service

There is now only one acceptable reply to trump's bloviating. "Quiet! Quiet, piggy."

Sorry, actual pigs.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held โ€œKnow Your Rightsโ€ trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

At least seven faith leaders arrested at Broadview ICE facility protest (RNS) โ€” 'I've got bruises all over my body,' the Rev. Michael Woolf, who was thrown to the ground and arrested by police, told RNS.

Organizers told me that at least 7 faith leaders were among those arrested on Friday.

In a statement posted on X, DHS referred to demonstrators as "imbeciles" who need to "get a job."

One pastor told me "this is our job," adding, "to advocate for the oppressed. religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Line up, all of you who buy Trump's claim re massive SNAP fraud. Well done! You're getting a special award for critical intelligence, which will benefit not only you but all of mankind.

We know trump's attracted to teenage girls, because he's said so many times. We know Epstein gave him a safe place to indulge his most evil desires. No wonder he's panicking now.

Itโ€™s been 15 years since Congress raised the minimum wage.

In that time, costs for rent, groceries, and utilities have soared.

Americans deserve a raise.
